ELBOW ME ELMO
They are Xing out Xmas again
at the big department store chain
In the land that has taken the job
of saving the world from the mob
Pushing and shoving, mean and obscene
with a frenzy that a last crust African
or boycotted Iraqi has never seen
And the red in the Amazon river
is not the blood of the cow
But a million piranhas
blushing in shame
